What Is the NACE Mentor Program?

The Mentorship Program helps NACE members share knowledge and ideas, and aids less experienced members in gaining expertise and building a professional network. Mentors are paired with mentees by association (college or employer), interests, and geographic region. Mentor and mentee determine the length of the formal relationship. The Mentor Program is open to NACE members only.
